Celebrating Ronald & Susan Friedman
Ronald Friedman graduated from UNM School of Law in 1971. Encouraged by Fred Hart, Ron credits the opportunity to attend UNM Law as being transformative.
Ronald and Susan Friedman have been committed, long-time donors of the UNM School of Law School for nearly 50 years. In 1991, they inaugurated the Ronald & Susan Friedman Faculty Excellence Award (FFA) as a way of maintaining the highest quality faculty for the School. The purpose of the fund is to support and encourage excellence in teaching and scholarship among the law school faculty. FFA is awarded annually for a faculty member's contribution to the growth and reputation of the Law School either by teaching, scholarly research or other meritorious achievement. Various faculty members have received the prestigious award since its initiation, and with the generous support were able to continue or undertake valuable research or continued law education that will then be used in various capacities at the School.
We thank them for their continued generosity and dedication to the School of Law!

Talk by John Leshy hosted by Natural Resources and Environmental Law Program
Tuesday, April 19, 2022
5:30 PM - 6:30 PM
UNM School of Law Room 2401
On Tuesday, April 19, the Natural Resources and Environmental Law Program will be hosting a talk by John Leshy. Leshy's new book, Our Common Ground: A History of America's Public Lands, published by Yale University Press, will be released on March 1. John Leshy is emeritus professor at U.C. Hastings College of the Law and former Solicitor (general counsel) of the U.S. Department of the Interior. The book is the first comprehensive history of America’s public lands – those managed by the National Park Service, the U.S. Forest Service, the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, and the Bureau of Land Management – in more than a half-century. It recounts the political decisions that led to the U.S. government stewarding this nearly one-third of the nation’s real estate primarily for conservation, recreation and other broad public purposes. Leshy's talk will highlight the main themes of this history and lessons it offers for dealing with contemporary challenges like climate change, biodiversity loss, and the dramatic increase in visitation.
